    So flipping hot here, stepping out of the house is like stepping into a sauna, and that is stepping into the shade.:)

    I must admit that if it had been me I would maybe have done both of these but I would have done them one at a time to see which had the effect. Predetonation I would have imagined coming from the timing being slightly too advanced, yet you have advanced the timing but you have done that and it...

    Only in France could there be a row about making mineral water cleaner and purer, by NOT sticking chemicals into it. https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cyvn3qe0jpgo

    Defender TD5_Gear Shift 1st-2d

    Cars I drove when I first started driving never had synchro on 1st. And were often worn in 2nd. I was taught to take it from first then pause in neutral then put it in 2nd. In fact you should do that in all gear changes to allow the synchromesh to synch the two gears. Double declutching does...

    Disco 2 Stalling issues.

    Does it do it when you rev it standing still, or only under load? Just wondering if it may be worth fitting a gravity tank, but obvs that wouldn't supply very high pressure. You said you only had a limited diagnosis thing look at it, have you now got access to a better one? And have you tried...

    It does look lovely! I'm a wee bit jealous as I never took mine to a show although I/we was/were always taking our kit cars to shows. Every time I see one like yours it make me want to get another one. I then have to give myself a severe talking-to!!:):):)

    I'd advise a chiropractor, seeing as I once had shoulder pain. Went to three GPs who each gave me a different diagnosis and a different advised course of treatment. Being a doctor's son I knew that none of them had a clue. Was then recommended a chiropractor by a colleague. He took a PROPER...

    Oh dear, sorry about this. It sounds as if the other two executors, whoever they are, are behaving like this on purpose to try and get her to chcuk her towel in. And once that happens they'll try and fiddle things so they get what they want for themselves and theirs and do her and hers out of...

    V hot today, 35 c. W getting on me nerves, as usual, gave a her a little sewing task to do, she has been quiet since instead of talking about "things" that need "doing". The mad thing wants to go doing all sorts of physical stuff she shouldn't be doing, like picking apples for juice etc. I...

    Just got an email from my bruv. His cancer is back, in liver and lungs. He has just moved into a bungalow and wasn't really expecting this. He already has no colon or bladder, and is in a wheel chair. As they monitor him every 3 months they will have caught this relatively early but they have...
